Late "Bays" 1973>79

1973 Sees a huge model revamp. The "wrap around" style bumpers were replaced with the square style. The front indicators were moved up to the new grille. Changes were also made to the front arches and cab floor, accelerator linkage, steering box and so many other improvements such as the 1800cc engine. Front brakes were again upgraded.

the bay got a early style bumper

Late Bays are from 73 onwards. This is a '72 Westy as per Pine's post title

The 1972 Bay (known as the 'Crossover' model) had indeed the 'early' bumpers with the larger 'later' tail lights, and yes - it never looked 'right' for me too..
